These pictures are from yesterday.We are now without power. Luckily we have a gas stove so we can use the four top burners to raise the temperature in the kitchen. We heard on the radio that at noon 31,000 National Grid customers were without power in the area.
On my way into town today part of the road had been closed due to a broken tree limb taking the power line down right across the road. There was a temporary "Road Closed" sign just in front of the power line. There was a black truck in front of me. The driver made a quick decision and made his/her own diversion going cautiously off-road into a field around the road block and up a 45 degree bank out back onto the road on the other side. As I have an all-wheel vehicle I did the same. I must say that is the first time I have taken my Subaru off-road.
There will be more pictures to follow of broken telegraph poles, power lines down across the road.
Here are some more photographs...
Take a closer look at the sign in front of the broken pole.
The minivan is stuck. The driver has a cell phone and he/she called for help.
